Preservation and Project Flawless Coordinator

Project

The Woodfibre LNG Project is located approximately 7 km west-southwest of Squamish, British Columbia. It involves the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility on the previous Woodfibre pulp mill site, which would have a storage capacity of 250,000 m3 and would produce approximately 2.1 million tons per year of LNG.

Woodfibre Management Ltd. is a privately held Canadian company based in Vancouver and a subsidiary of Pacific Energy Corporation Limited.

Position

The Preservation and Project Flawless Coordinator is an integral part of Woodfibre LNG's dynamic team. This role reports to the Commissioning Manager, will be responsible for safeguarding all project-critical equipment and systems from deterioration during fabrication, transport, storage, installation, and pre-commissioning. Concurrently, the role drives Project Flawless philosophy across procurement, construction, and commissioning to eliminate defects before they reach site. The role is execution-heavy, discipline-agnostic, and central to avoiding costly rework, schedule delays, and warranty disputes.

Key Responsibilities:

The successful applicant will conduct:

Preservation:

• Preservation Management (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Static & Rotating Equipment)
• Ensure the EPC contractor has an effective Preservation Execution Plan, aligned with vendor manuals, OEM data sheets, and contract requirements.
• Validate the correctness of detailed Preservation Checklists for all equipment classes (pumps, compressors, turbines, switchgear, MCCs, analyzers, instruments, valves, tanks, vessels, skids, packages).
• Ensure and provide oversight of the Preservation Matrix across procurement, construction, and commissioning.
• Implement Tag-based preservation tracking integrated into materials management (e.g. project-specific CMS).
• Define preservation intervals (7-day, 30-day, etc.) and ensure discipline teams perform required activities.
• Supervise application of desiccants, purging, blinds, oil misting, nitrogen blanket, rotating equipment turning, etc.
• Ensure correct preservation is applied through warehouse and laydown yards.
• Conduct routine preservation audits of site temporary fabrication yards, warehouses, subcontractor facilities, and site storage yards.
• Oversee preservation during transit, lifting, installation, ensuring that rigging and handling do not breach OEM requirements.
• Ensure proper preservation of electrical systems (space heaters, humidity control, insulation tests repeated on defined intervals).
• Ensure that EPC contractor correctly manages temporary power, climate control, and HVAC where environmental exposure (dust, salt, humidity, heat) threatens equipment integrity.
• Lead re-preservation activities prior to system walkdowns, turnover, and commissioning.
• Provide Company sign off on preservation punch lists and ensure closure before subsystem handover.

Project Flawless Coordination:

• Implement Flawless Project Delivery (FPD) across fabrication, construction, and commissioning.
• Coordinate structured Flawless Reviews: design phase reviews, operations input, readiness reviews, vendor FAT/SAT oversight.
• Maintain and track the Flawless Action Register (FAR) ensuring responsible discipline owners close actions on time.
• Drive Defect Elimination Culture—behaviors, discipline ownership, accountability.
• Facilitate Lessons Learned workshops and ensure actionable items are integrated into the project.
• Monitor Critical Equipment Readiness, ensuring all preservation and quality hold points are met before energization or commissioning.
• Implement Early Engagement with Operations to ensure maintainability, operability, and commissioning logic are validated.
• Conduct Defect & Punchlist Prevention Workshops targeting high-risk systems (utilities, power, rotating machinery, control systems).
• Ensure EPC Contractor tracks system readiness using A-B-C turnover philosophy, ensuring no late discoveries prior to MC and RFC.
• Support RAM, SIL, HF, PSSR, HAZOP/HAZID integration to ensure safety conclusions are implemented in design and field execution.
• Act as the interface coordinator across QA/QC, construction, and commissioning for all…
